Bian Zhao suddenly stood up from his wheelchair and walked under the boat as if no one was around, shocking everyone on the boat.

Everyone looked at Bian Zhaoyuan's back from afar and did not come back to their senses for a long time.

After a long while, Fu Bo finally let out a faint sigh.

"Jiang Ran, I'm sorry," he apologized sincerely, "I was wrong about you."

Then came Ren Xiayang, Zeng Pei, and Bai Zhiyong. They were like people going to a market, eager to say "I'm sorry".

Jiang Ran was also silent for a long time.

She seemed to be dreaming, and said in a daze: "I don't blame you. This wave...even I didn't expect it."

Zeng Pei patted her shoulder, expressing his understanding. "That's perfectly normal. After all...a normal person wouldn't even think of using a wheelchair because they're too lazy to walk, right?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran subconsciously looked at Xu Yang who was three or four steps away.

Xu Yang quickly noticed her gaze, spread his hands and said, "I didn't expect that either. She usually behaves so properly..."

Xu Yang thought about it and took back the word "normal". He said, "He behaves too much like a disabled person."

Jiang Ran couldn't help but nod repeatedly in his heart.

For so many days, Bian Zhao has been sitting in a wheelchair and has not gotten out. Who would have thought that she did so just because she didn't want to?

It’s really... so shocking!

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran looked at Xu Yang again, and only looked away when he gave her a puzzled look.

It turns out there are people in this world who love to slack off even more than Xu Yang... There really is no harm without comparison...

Xu Yang: "Why are you looking at me?"

Jiang Ran: "It's okay, you look cute."

Xu Yang: "...Next time, just think about this kind of thing on your own and don't say it in public."

Jiang Ran: “?”

Upon hearing this, everyone nearby couldn't help but look back and forth between Jiang Ran and Xu Yang, their expressions filled with deep thought.

Why do the words these two people say... sound so wrong?

But for now, the matter between Jiang Ran and Xu Yang is not the most important thing.

Fu Bo thought for a long time, but couldn't help asking, "But why did you invite such a person to be an observer?"

"That's what I'm saying," Ren Xiayang glanced down at the ship again, "Look at her, she's already drinking her drink leisurely. Does she look like she can actually work properly?"

Jiang Ran sighed helplessly after hearing this.

Zeng Pei thought thoughtfully: "Is she very good in some aspect?"

"That's right," Xu Yang nodded beside him, "In fact, you have all heard of her name."

"Is this true?"

"I've heard of her? Impossible..."

"I just met her for the first time today, okay?"

"It's true," Jiang Ran held his forehead with difficulty, "She is Bian Zhao."

"Bian Zhao?" Zeng Pei pondered for a moment, "The program planner you hired?"

Fu Bo also had an impression. He exclaimed exaggeratedly: "That cold-blooded murderer?"

Fu Bo's voice was so loud that the other people in the queue subconsciously looked over here.

Their faces all had the same expression: Am I participating in some weird show? Scary...

Jiang Ran: "...Shut up."

Fu Bo said aggrievedly: "Oh."

Zhou Kangbo in front was appraising the treasures found by the contestants one by one, but after hearing the name "Bian Zhao" several times in succession, he finally stopped what he was doing.

He raised his head and sighed, "I also didn't expect that you would actually invite Bian Zhao here."

Jiang Ran hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and asked, "Did you know about her situation from the beginning?"

Zhou Kangbo: "Yes."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Didn't I tell you? Bian Zhao's situation is very special, and his request will also be very special. Don't you understand after seeing the real person?"

That's really...

I don't understand at all.

Jiang Ran was speechless and choked.

"The past is the past." Jiang Ran said very sincerely, "I just want to ask you one thing now."

Zhou Kangbo: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Ran: "Since Bian Zhao's legs are normal, then her throat and vocal cords..."

Zhou Kangbo understood immediately after hearing it.

He immediately looked at Jiang Ran with sympathy.

Silly child, you are still inexperienced in the world.

Jiang Ran: “…”

Okay, it's okay, she was just overthinking it.

But isn’t this too outrageous?

There are people who are so lazy that they don’t want to walk or talk?

Aren’t you afraid that your body functions will deteriorate?

While Jiang Ran and Zhou Kangbo were chatting, the others who were waiting for the appraisal became dissatisfied.

"Teacher Zhou, please help me see how many points this basket of sea fish is worth."

"That's right, it's almost half past five, but the line is still so long. You're not really going to call it a day, are you?"

“…”

"Alright, alright, don't worry, just line up."

While giving orders, Zhou Kangbo reassured them, "I'll complete the statistics and entry of all the people on your ship before I leave. Don't worry."

Seeing that he was busy again, Jiang Ran didn't bother him.

Jiang Ran took two steps back, walked back to his seat, and held the bag containing the mysterious treasure in his arms again.

Fu Bo's curiosity was piqued again: "What good thing did you find?"

Jiang Ran patted his backpack lightly and revealed a satisfied yet mysterious smile: "You'll know when you get there."

The more Jiang Ran hid it, the more curious others became.

Everyone was clearly in line ahead of Jiang Ran, but they refused to leave after finishing their work. They had to stay here to see what was going on, and they wanted to know what good stuff Jiang Ran had hidden until today.

Fortunately, the daylight hours in tropical regions are relatively long. After waiting for a long time, they finally waited for Jiang Ran's acceptance time before sunset.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Ran's package.

They watched carefully and attentively as Jiang Ran opened the lid of his backpack and took out... a large necklace.

Calling it a necklace isn't entirely accurate. It's strung together with an extremely long, thin string. If it were worn around the neck, it would probably dangle all the way down to the feet. Jiang Ran had also wrapped the string around it several times when he took it out.

When everyone looked more closely, they saw that the necklace was made of conch shells, the same small brown and white conch shells that everyone had seen on the beach before, the kind that you could fill up a big bag with just a casual walk on the beach.

Fu Bo raised his head: "Are you kidding me?"

Ren Xiayang pointed at the necklace and said, "There's no need for Teacher Zhou to bother with this thing. Let me estimate the price for you. It's ten cents, no more."

Even Zeng Pei said, "If you were trying to play a joke on us, congratulations, you've succeeded. You fooled me."

"Who is kidding you?" Jiang Ran didn't even raise his head, and took out a small card with words written on it from his backpack, and handed it to Zhou Kangbo along with the huge "necklace".

Zhou Kangbo thought Jiang Ran was joking at first, but when he saw her confident look, he became a little uncertain. After hesitating for a moment, he carefully took the thing Jiang Ran handed over.

However, he was shocked after just two glances.

Zhou Kangbo suddenly raised his head: "Is this true?"

Jiang Ran made a "please" gesture: "You can go and do the verification now. I can wait as long as it takes."

Jiang Ran was originally the last person in the queue, and there was no one else waiting behind her. When Zhou Kangbo heard her words, he didn't even care about getting off work, and took the two things back to the cabin to verify.

"Isn't that just stringing together conch shells?" Fu Bo rubbed the back of his head and asked, puzzled. "Is it that something that is strung together is more noble?"

Zeng Pei pinched his chin, thought for a moment, and seriously speculated, "Perhaps it's because it's more aesthetically pleasing? From a mechanical manufacturing perspective, a single conch is like a component of a mecha, while a string of conchs could perhaps be compared to a completed mecha. Of course, the finished product is much more valuable than the components."

Ren Xiayang carefully savored Zeng Pei's words.

Not long after, he raised his soul's question: "But that string of things is not good-looking either?"

Fu Bo nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.

"Jiang Ran, just tell me what's going on. Don't keep me in suspense."

Jiang Ran smiled upon hearing this and explained seriously, "In the early days of the Earth era, shells and conchs once became important currencies for human transactions, and Papua New Guinea is a typical country that uses shells as currency."

"This conch coin, called a 'Tab', consists of about three hundred pieces in a string. It's very popular on New Britain, and there are exchange points in major towns.

"Tabu is a long-standing traditional culture in New Guinea. On the other hand, it is also the most important gift at weddings, funerals, birthdays and other ceremonies."

After Jiang Ran finished explaining, Fu Bo was still a little confused.

"So if conch shells are strung together to form conch coins... they become valuable? But the Federation probably doesn't accept this kind of currency, right?"

Ren Xiayang slapped his head speechlessly. "How can we really exchange it for federal currency? People say it's an ancient culture, culture! Do you understand what culture is?"

"Tsk—you're the only one who understands!"

"At least I know a little better than you!"

“…”

Seeing Ren Xiayang and Fu Bo quarreling again over a disagreement, Jiang Ran couldn't help laughing and covered his face.

Zeng Pei was still deep in thought. After a long pause, she said, "I'm afraid it's not just what you said. If this is common knowledge in Earth culture, Teacher Zhou wouldn't need to go back and confirm it..."

Zeng Pei glanced at his watch as he spoke. "He's been gone for ten minutes now and hasn't come back yet. This means this is a very obscure, perhaps even unknown, historical knowledge... Where did you hear it from?"

“Ah, this…”

Jiang Ran touched his nose and tried to laugh: "I did some more homework before coming here..."

Zeng Pei was certainly not satisfied with this perfunctory explanation and wanted to continue asking questions. However, at this time Zhou Kangbo suddenly walked out of the cabin again and interrupted Zeng Pei's thoughts.

At this moment, the shell string that Zhou Kangbo was holding in his hand had disappeared. It was probably placed in the cabin.

He looked at Jiang Ran with relief. After a long while, he smiled and nodded: "I was right about you. What you said should be right."

Jiang Ran also smiled and asked, "How many points would you give this baby?"

"Two hundred points."

Zhou Kangbo hesitated again after finishing his words. "I specifically contacted a friend who's doing research in this area about what you wrote on the card. He said it was very helpful to his research, but after all, this isn't a finalized study that can be made public, so the scoring will also be..."

"It's okay," Jiang Ran waved his hand and said, "I understand."

Xu Yang watched from the side for a long time, and only walked over slowly after Jiang Ran's evaluation results were finally settled.

"Since this item is worth 200 points, your current total score is still lower than mine." Xu Yang said, "You lost this game."

Fu Bo was confused. "What competition? Isn't the result determined in seven days?"

"It's not that competition," Jiang Ran waved his hand and said, "It's not important. It's just a small competition we set up between the two of us, betting on the total points so far."

When Fu Bo heard this, his expression immediately became even more strange.

These two people...it's ok that they talk weirdly, but they're actually competing secretly?

Could it be...

"But who said I lost?" Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows.

Xu Yang raised the corner of his lip: "But your score result is already..."

"Who said I could only find that one treasure?" Jiang Ran said as he took out more things from his backpack. "The conch coins are just an appetizer. These are my most beloved treasures."

Hearing this, everyone looked at what was in her hand.

Then I saw... a stack of photos.

Everyone:"?"

Jiang Ran handed the photos to Zhou Kangbo. "Teacher Zhou, these are the photos I took. They show the gorgeous clouds in the sky and the vibrant corals and fish underwater. Beautiful scenery is nature's most precious treasure. We can't take those beautiful views with us, but we can take our photography and photos with us."

Zhou Kangbo sighed helplessly when he took the stack of photos.

"Looks like I have to ask my friends who specialize in design for you." Although he said this, his expression didn't seem unhappy.

"Thank you so much for troubling you." Jiang Ran said with a smile, "But I've already confirmed it. Since history and culture can be valuable, then beauty must be valuable too. I believe you won't let me down."

Jiang Ran believed so firmly, and the final result did not disappoint her.

Zhou Kangbo went back to the cabin and stayed for a while. When he came back, Jiang Ran had received another 200 points.

"Alright, alright, you guys should leave now," Zhou Kangbo said unhappily. "I'm leaving now. Seriously, it's taking this long on the first day."

"Thank you for your help." Jiang Ran said with a smile, "See you tomorrow."

By the time the people left, Fu Bo and the others had not yet come to their senses.

"Just that stack of photos... worth 200 points?" He seemed to be sleepwalking.

"Then can I also take some pictures?" Ren Xiayang grabbed his batting cage and fell into deep thought.

Xu Yang looked at Jiang Ran for a long time and sighed.

"I lost." He said, "I will do what I promised you."

However, before Jiang Ran could feel happy, he heard him say quietly, "But you really don't want me to go with you..."

Jiang Ran: “?”

What is this person talking about?

While he was thinking about it, Fu Bo next to him suddenly shouted in shock.

"Damn, look, what is Bian Zhao doing?"

Jiang Ran looked in the direction of the voice, and the next second he saw Bian Zhao taking out the food from the space button one by one, placing the plates and bowls in an orderly manner on the large dining table pulled out from the hovercraft.

Amidst the constant stares from all around her, she began to enjoy her special meal as if no one was around.

Fu Bo seemed to be sleepwalking: "Jiang Ran..."

Jiang Ran wasn't much better: "Hmm..."

"Tell me, if I help you pay Bian Zhao's salary, can I ask you to send her back to the capital planet?"

Jiang Ran: “…”

She said compassionately and cruelly: "I'm afraid not."

The author has something to say:

Bian Zhao: What could be more delicious than eating a big meal in front of everyone?
